Make a Perfect Cup of Coffee with these Aeropress Tips

Over in the Single Serve Coffee Forums there's a great post featuring a couple of Aeropress tips. We love the Aeropress (read our review here), and any tricks and tips are always welcome. Besides making a great cup of coffee the Aeropress itself is one of many inventions from Alan Adler inventor of the Aerobie flying disk. Yep - not only did Alan invent a great coffee press, he's got 40 other patents and lectures at Nasa. Okay back to the tips...

Our favorite tip:

How to clean your Aeropress? Basically, after the full plunge, just unscrew the bottom cap over a trash bin, and push the plunger through to pop the puck/filter out. Then just rinse the end of the plunger off and you're done.

Do you have any Aeropress tips and tricks? If so sound off in the comments and let us know how you make a perfect single serve cup of coffee with your Aeropress.

My wife and I were out at a coffee shop over the weekend who’s brew options include the Aeropress. The end result in the cup was so amazing that I officially pulled the trigger and am now a proud owner of one. Now I’m looking forward to all of the experimenting.

It’s so funny that you posted this today. I’ve been randomly checking these out for about a year and a half. However, yesterday I came to the conclusion that I just need to pull the trigger and get one. I plan on picking one up this weekend. After all the amazing reviews all over the web it sounds like this may just be a life altering purchase.
